Registernummer under krigen: London 5181, NY 8586.

Johnsen dro til sjøs som 15-åring. Han var mønstret på M/T HERBORG som ble kapret av tysk skip. Skipet ble etter hvert satt under tysk flagg og senere beskutt av alliert skip. Mannskapet ble deretter reddet av en tysk u-båt. Se "dokumenter" for intervju med utfyllende historikk.

Satt i tysk fangenskap fra juni 1942 til han ble løslatt og hjemsendt til Norge 23.11.1943.

    Going through new source material in order to document the war sailors and their history is an ongoing and extensive effort, and there exist no complete register over decorations awarded. Infomation about medals will therefore be registered gradually and be based on different source materials. The war sailors were awarded medals both during and after the war. Do you want to read more about decorations, then please study this page: Decorations
